The Cold-Fighting Food You Should Be Eating This Season

Ready for cold and flu season? It hit Seattle, where I live, early. Everyone I know is coughing and sniffling, including a few people in my house. Boo hoo. But, new research points to a certain food that may help fight off cold and flu viruses. Are you getting enough?

Want to zap cold and flu bugs? Eat yogurt, say researchers. In their very robust study of more than 3,000 people, a new study has found that people who ate yogurt regularly get colds less often. Thank the probiotics (good bacteria) in yogurt, but kefir (my fave) has even more probiotics.
